Crews removing first pieces of Baltimore bridge collapse debris

Crews are working to remove the first portion of the Baltimore bridge wreckage - the starting point in a complicated, extensive cleanup process that could help open up a temporary channel to get more vessels into the water around the collapse site, officials said. CNN’s Gloria Pazmino reports. #CNN #News

i read in the NY times from about +17.000 outdated bridges with bad protections for cases like this in the US. For the economy, this was probably a bridge in the top twenty of the outdated bridges without protection in the US.

Sudden tragedies become easier to understand with hindsight. I remember the Lebanon explosion. It was easy to prevent but no one took the necessary actions. The first thing we do is apply guilt and shame, neither are particularly productive. The story of The Emperor Has No Clothes kind of applies but if this story was written today we would say The Emperor Was Caught With His Pants Down, which goes back to shaming. What does apply to this collapse is, please, everybody and anybody who sees a flaw in a design, please speak up and keep speaking up until the issue gets corrected. Eventually someone will make the decisions necessary to stop a calamity before it happens. With the emperor’s clothes story it took a kid, someone outside the decision making process to spot an error in judgement. America is full of outsiders. That’s a strength, when they speak up. I’m glad action was taken to clear the bridge to minimize how many people got hurt.

[@Biker_1991]

This should alert the US and they should rebuild the bridge and use decent remmingwerken in front of the pillars. Remmingwerken (literally braking works) are a Dutch word for a sort of bumpers or barriers and mooring posts of wood and steel in the water on both sides of the bridge pillars. To protect bridge pillars against collisions with floating objects. The harbor of Baltimore has been proven to be vulnerable by this bridge. An enemy could easily do the same as this rudderless ship did and an important harbor will come to a standstill and an important traffic connection is ruined. We saw a similar thing in the Baltic Sea when first a Chinese and then a Russian ship pulled the seabed internet cables to shambles. Accidentally they say, but it came in handy for them and it was probably a test. See what the impact and disruption was and how long it took to repair or to detour the data. We are more vulnerable to Chinese, Russian, Iranian and North Korean sabotage than the general public knows. And the general public has to agree to budget money for these things. And that’s the weak spot in democracies. We see it with the MAGA Republicans, not agreeing to a bill for military support for Ukraine. That’s what Putin likes to see. The effect of his actions must be satisfying for him. Just one troll factory in Moscow and a bit of sleaze money and the MAGA Republican cave in. They listen to Putin without realizing they did. I must give Putin credit for it, it is smart, it works and for only a little effort.

Just so everyone realizes, the crew probably has to stay on the ship. Chances are, they don't have Visa's, so legally, they can't go on land. Also, right now, they are still on foreign soil. And to a certain degree, international treaties and laws cover them. If they step foot on US soil, they are automatically under US law. And, so much as it's pretty clear this was an accident, if you were a crew member, would you want to take the chance of getting arrested?

[@BSNFabricating]

While the crew is stranded in the harbor, it's not as if they're drifting at sea. They presumably have whatever they need to go for days and weeks sailing around the world. Unless they run short on food and water -- which could be replenished by the crews who have been inspecting the ship and commuting back to land -- they should be able to stay on board as long as it takes to get the ship unstuck. What happens AFTER that, we'll have to wait and see.

[@johngreydanus2033]

That is correct, and the next step when free, and cleared by authority, would be to be offloaded, then proceed somewhere for repairs, which the management should be organizing now. They would possibly fly the crews home or transport them to another ship in the fleet.@@BSNFabricating

Get to the point man So far no accurate time line exists that shows when the ship exited the channel it was meant to be in to pass the bridge unharmed. Once that is known, then let's ask exactly what the man in control of steering actually did during the remaining few minutes before impact.

[@user-um6up4ox9d]

the ship lost power. There was no "steering" without power. They radioed a mayday, which helped the Police stop the traffic from going onto the bridge, saving lives. Each report isn't going to spell out the whole thing, go watch videos from that day and since.

[@oxyfee6486]

He threw it into reverse before impact, a propeller that size does something called “Prop Walk.” Until it reaches speed it actually pulls the stern sideways in the direction of rotation, this causes the front to move in the opposite direction, in this case it looked like it steered into the bridge.

The engines, bridge and crew quarters are all further back and not directly affacted.

You can get better correspondent than that. She seems to struggle reporting.

The crewmen should have made sure all was functioning good or great on the ship. Did the crewmen think that concert would stop the ship? How long after they left the port did the crewmen noticed the ship was not functioning good? Why did the crewmen alert the works they do not have a horn on the ship to alert the people on the bridge. Hope the ship company is sued, so the families will live and survive through this hard times.

The insurance company will likely have to pay out more than $4B for this accident

[@joginns778]

Why did the bridge not have concrete Islands at the bridge peers to protect the steel work ? Or why was a ship that size not escorted under the bridge by tug boats it was said yesterday the crew did drop anchor to try and stop this from happening as with a lot of modern ships a lot of the equipment is operated by computer, power goes down so does the computer,

[@muratti72muc]

should they blow in the horn with there mouth? How could a electric horn work when you have no electric power? The US Coast Guard said it had previously undergone “routine engine maintenance” in port. This was checked by the port authority. After the inspection, the ship was cleared to continue sailing by the port authority. Maybe the company who do the engine maintenance make a mistake and the inspector of the port authority don't see it? Then you can sued the engine company who do the maintenance or the port authority. Someone will pay but at the moment nobody knows who have to pay. In this case there will certainly not be just one guilty party. The various insurance companies will of course try to blame the other parties.

It was an internal deliberate attack. Government sources confirmed it was a hack and 2 minutes of the black box was missing. Sources also say the staged setup completed only 50% objective, ship was supposed to sink the containers with chemicals were supposed to dump. 🤣

He'll probably look for some way to blame Biden and/or the Democrats. I'm surprised he hasn't done it yet.
